Dealing with self-hate, cultivating a spirit of self-love and avoiding subconscious self-sabotage. I wrote this for myself, I needed this. And now I offer it to you.

Ask yourself these questions:

Are you still alive?

Is it that bad?

Against whose criterion are you really evaluating yourself?

What are the realistic worst possible consequences of the particular action/s

Forgetting the past, what steps can you take to mitigate any realistic damages?

Is there any possibility that your sentiments exist within a vacuum of self-doubt, pity and self-hatred; or that your evaluation of self is based on the arbitrary standards of others or warped social norms?

It’s not easy, but work to forgive yourself. Your forgiven self is the most capable version of yourself to move forward, find solutions and mitigate damages.
